2015年5月4日 · However, English-speaking children are taught to put the pronoun referring to themselves last (the reason given being that it is more polite to put others before yourself), so I would agree with skaaptjop that "__ and me" is the safest way of saying this (this of course only applies to the object position; for the subject "__ and I" would be ...

2015年1月30日 · The possessive pronoun her and the object pronoun her are homonyms - they look identical. However, it is easy to test if this is the possessive or object pronoun. We can simply substitute father for mother and see whether the corresponding word is the possessive pronoun his, or the object pronoun him: A father takes care of his children ...

2020年4月18日 · Object, pronoun etc, are syntactic terms, so you have to analyse the clause syntactically, not semantically, thus "he" is subject and "who" is the predicative complement of "be". The addressee is unknown, perhaps some arbitrary person. –

2020年5月31日 · Well, the main difference is that when the relative pronoun is the object, you can delete the relative pronoun (that's what the parentheses around them means), because the sentence already has a subject, and you don't need to go to the trouble of putting the pronoun up front to mark it as a relative clause.

2024年2月25日 · I understand that it would be trivial to ask whether or not English has object pronouns classifiable as either direct or indirect - this is a matter of grammatical structure. My question is whether there are different forms for direct or indirect object pronouns, or if both modes are identically represented by the same 'object pronouns' (me ...

In a normal main clause, the object would come after the verb, as here; but, in a relative clause, the relative pronoun is normally moved to the beginning of the relative clause. That is why we had the man whom... in the original example. Without this move, which is standard in (most? all?)

2020年12月14日 · I remember learning that when a pronoun follows a transitive verb like a direct object does but is actually the subject of a clause that is the direct object rather than the pronoun alone being the direct object, we use the subject pronoun because the pronoun's not actually the direct object but the entire clause it's the subject of is instead ...

2018年8月7日 · The most common way to introduce an indirect object is following the pattern of the first sentence. Subject + Transitive Verb + Indirect Object + Direct Object. The other way is also the pattern of the 2nd sentence you posted. Subject + Transitive Verb + Indirect Object + to/for + Object of the preposition (which is also the indirect object)

2015年4月22日 · The relative pronoun functions as the direct object of the relative clause, but of course it's been moved to the beginning of the clause, like all relative pronouns.
